Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon
A/N: ohhh school is killer. Anywho the reviews I got really made me happy and wanted to continue my story as soon as possible. So here we go again.
At the end of the meeting, Tuxedo-Kamen asked to speak with the King alone.
"What is on your mind? I noticed you were a bit distracted throughout the meeting," the King said after everyone left.
"Well...there is something I want to ask you, but I don't know if you can answer it," Tuxedo-Kamen said.
"That depends on what your question is," the King said in a serious tone.
The King stared at Tuxedo-Kamen with a thoughtful look. He then closed his eyes as if deciding on what to say.
"You do know who it is! Tell me," Tuxedo-Kamen exclaimed.
"If I tell you, it will only cause you to be distracted. Your judgement will be clouded by your anger," the King said calmly.
"Look, do you know how awful it feels knowing what I put Usako through! Now I learn that the pain I put both of us through was because I was stupid enough to fall for an enemy's trap not only that, but the voice belonged to some guy who wants to steal Usako away from me," Tuxedo-Kamen said through gritted teeth while clenching his fists.
"What makes you think I don't know! Might I remind you I am your future self. It's true there may be differences in the events we go through since the events in time can be altered, but don't you dare challenge me by questioning what I've been through with Serenity," the King said.
Tuxedo-Kamen and the King stood in silence as they stared at each other daring the other to say something.
The King sighed before saying, "I can tell you, but you must remember not to let your anger cloud your judgement or you will not only put yourself in danger, but everyone else as well not to mention Sailor Moon who you want to protect the most."
"I understand...I'm sorry for what I said earlier," Tuxedo-Kamen said regaining his composure.
The King nodded his head to express his understanding after all he's been through it too even if different events played out.
"The person who's been sending you the nightmares is Demando. He had his eye on Serenity for as long as I can remember. He had not intended for Neo-Queen Serenity to be injured this bad. I'm guessing Rubeus got sent to your time as a way to make amends for what he did. When Rubeus ran into interference by you guys, he must have reported it to Demando. I'm sure it didn't take long for Demando to recognize Sailor Moon as Serenity and you as Endymion," the King said.
"But how did Demando know Uskao and my civilian form," Tuxedo-Kamen asked.
"With Demando's desire for Serenity and his hatred for Endymion, I'm not too surprised he was able to find out," the King said with a shrug, "Besides, that's not what you have to worry about. I am sure you're aware that he has not given up on Serenity."
"I will protect Usako, you can count on that," Tuxedo-Kamen said in a determined tone.
"I know, but you must always remember the love between you two and trust in it. The events of time are forever altering. There are bound to be challenges that will test the love between you two. If you keep the problems to yourself like you have done, it is only harming your bond because it shows you do not trust her enough to go through the hard times with you. Remember that destiny is not set in stone. You can lose Serenity," the King said.
Tuxedo-Kamen nodded, but before he could reply, an explosion shook the palace.
The King ran to the computer in the room and began frantically pushing buttons until an image of droids attacking the Crystal Palace shield came onto the screen. The senshis along with Chibi-usa and the guardian cats came running into the room. The group ran up to Tuxedo-Kamen's side whose been observing the monitor while standing behind the King.
"Well it didn't take long for them to start attacking," Jupiter said as the group watched the droids' attempts at breaking the shield.
"Are you certain the shield can hold," Mercury asked the King.
"The shield will hold...but I wonder why there are fewer droids this time," the King said with a perplexed look and began using the computer to analyze the droids.
"Your majesty this is horrible. The energy levels of the palace shield are dropping quickly. At this rate the senshis will not be able to keep the shield up without endangering their lives," Diana exclaimed as she was checking the shield's energy level at a separate monitor.
"Somehow they are able to absorb the energy in the shield and since the shield's energy is that of the senshis, when the shield is completely drained, so will the senshis energy putting them in the danger of dying," the King explained.
"Then we'll just have to go out and destroy those droids," as soon as Sailor Moon said that, she was already heading out of the conference room.
'I can't let the droids kill my friends when they've been protecting my future self this whole time,' Sailor Moon thought with a worried look.
"Don't go running off on your own," Mars yelled as she and the other senshis ran after Sailor Moon with Tuxedo-Kamen already rushing ahead.
"Stay with the King, Chibi-usa. Luna, Artemis look after Chibi-usa," Venus instructed before running after the others.
'I have a bad feeling about this,' the King thought as he turned back to the monitor.
"Don't worry Chibi-usa. Sailor Moon and the others will be fine," Artemis said to the troubled looking little girl, "lets watch over them with the King."
Chibi-usa nodded and hugged Luna-P closer to her thinking, 'Be safe you guys.'

Sailor Moon saw the droids hammering at the shield when she arrived outside.
"Moon Princess Elimination," Sailor Moon shouted going on the attack right away.
Her attack destroyed a droid, but alerted the other droids of her presence. A few droids stopped their assault of the shield and began throwing attacks at Sailor Moon. She jumped out of the way, but an explosion from an attack sent her flying. At that moment, Tuxedo-Kamen appeared and caught Sailor Moon before landing on the ground holding her in his arms.
"Tuxedo-Kamen behind you," Sailor Moon said when she saw a droid lunging at them.
"Venus-Love-Me-Chain," Venus yelled catching the droid in midair and pulling it crashing into the ground.
"Burning Mandala," Mars yelled destroying the droid as it tried to get up.
The senshis caught up to Tuxedo-Kamen as he let Sailor Moon out of his arms. "Don't ever run off like that on your own ever again," Mars shouted as she pointed her finger at Sailor Moon.
"You can yell at her later Mars. Right now we have to take care of the droids and stop the ones that are draining the shield," Jupiter said as she noticed a droid preparing to attack.
"Can you locate the ones draining the shield," Venus asked Mercury.
"Yes, but it may take some time," Mercury said.
"Then we'll cover you and buy you the time," Sailor Moon said.
"Supreme Thunder," Jupiter yelled throwing back the droids that were charging at them, "I say we just destroy them all now."
"That be great, but we need to take out the ones draining the shields first since they're a danger to the senshis lives," Sailor Moon said.
The droids recovered from the attack and took a different approach. Rather than charging, the droids attacked from different directions.
Venus used her chain to throw a droid into another to protect Mercury who was typing furiously into her minicomputer.
"Cresento Beam," Venus yelled piercing the two droids.
"Fire Soul," Mars yelled throwing the finishing blow on the two droids.
"Mars, Venus look out," Jupiter yelled after tossing a droid aside and noticed a droid heading toward her comrades.
Mars turned around, but was not quick enough to react as a droid slammed into her sending her flying into Venus. The droid then threw an energy attack which hit the two senshis straight on.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure," Jupiter yelled destroying the droid before running toward the two senshis who were struggling to get up.
"I found them," Mercury exclaimed, "those two droids over there are the ones causing the massive energy drain."
"Got it," Sailor Moon said as she ran toward the two droids with Tuxedo-Kamen right behind her.
Mars and Venus got up as soon as they heard Mercury's findings.
"Lets clear the way for Sailor Moon," Mars said to the other senshis when Mercury caught up to them.
The senshis nodded their agreement and threw their attacks mercilessly at the droids trying to block Sailor Moon's way.
"Moon Princess Elimination," Sailor Moon yelled destroying one droid.
"Your not getting away," Tuxedo-Kamen said to the other droid who was trying to sneak away during the ruckus.
He threw his roses stopping the droids in its track. He then slammed his staff at the droid causing it to slam against the palace shield. The energy shield turned the droid into dust.
"All right," the senshis cheered as they gathered around Tuxedo-Kamen and Sailor Moon.
The group suddenly heard clapping and looked up.
"Demando," Tuxedo-Kamen growled.
